, It was _an old fashioned farm house kitchen with a big
kerosene stove for summertime use in front of the coal range.
A roller towel hung on the back of the door into the dining
room and a short-handled pump perched above the sink
which was also piped for running water.. It ' brought back
memories of kitchens I had known, as a child so when I was
invited to sit down for a glass of cold milk and some cookies,
I gladly accepted. "" . •
My hostess, in a fresh housedress and an ample kitchen
apron, went back to her job of paring potatoes and dropping
them into a big* yellow crock which she held on her lap and
I thought how far away it all was fi'om "wars and rumors
of war" and the colossal production effort in which our country is now engaged. But as we sat there discussing the road
£1 had stopped.to ask about, the weather and cookie recipes,
- this world I was trying to forget suddenly broke in upon us.
"They tell me," she said, "that we built more airplanes
than ever last month—over 1,400 of them, I believe."
"Yes," I said, perhaps showing my surprise, "and there
will be more next month, and still moi'e the next..."
She nodded her head. "I know. You see my son works in
the big aii-plane factory 100 miles from here and my daughter spends part of each week keeping track of things down
at the tool shop in the village. They're making something
that- they use on planes, too. I'm not sure just what, but
they're busy as anything. It's awful, of course, to think of
us haying.to take so much of our efforts away from the production of peacetime goods to the building of armaments. On
the other hand, it's pretty wonderful to think we can turn* to
and do it when we have to."
She said "we" I noticed, and she meant we. For although
she is a farmer's wife, living on a remote farm, she feels as
if she has a vital part in the work industry is doing. Her
children are actually part of it and her sympathies and hi-'
terest are with it as it turns out the equipment for defense.
We may have various ideas about what course the nation should take in the mdnths to come and we express theisa i
^ ideas, loudly so tha_t *.-*•'.> sdjaetimes look-divided. But on- ew/&<-
W thing ,we are certainly all agreed. That is that America must
be made strong and that the plants and factories of the nation are now at work for the interest of us all.
No matter where we live or what we do, it is actually
"our" effort and "our" success as the planes and tanks, the
guns and ships, roll off the assembly lines of industry.
More Priorities Needed
The American people constantly hear about priorities
given to the defense industries. They will discover that they
can't get* all the new things they want, owing to the need for
shipping essential materials to the factories working on defense jobs.
A leading clergyman recently preached a sermon which
dwelt on the necessity of priorities for religion. Most people
cherish some form of religion that influences their conduct,
but often it does not get any priority. It is often about the
last thing considered when some question of conduct comes
up.- If some people see a chance to get some money in a
crooked .way, the question of the prior claim of religious
principle on the disposition of that money is not considered.
Also priorities are needed on principles of justice and
4|>' kindness,-the two great forces which.should regulate human
conduct. If we are going to have a quiet, peaceful, and happy
country, these principles should have the claim for priority.
People should not consider that their own selfish desires get
the priority.
The first question to be settled under a priority rating
is as to what is fair to the people with whom we deal, and
what wiilbe the-principle of kindness that will make life
move on harmoniously,'
The world is. in turmoil today because no such priorities
are given. The Nazis of Germany give the priorities to power.
They say that any country that has the military force is to
have the prior claim on anything it wants, and they reach
out and grab all they can. The Germans are not the only
ones.. Even our own country may have given its own selfish
interest's priority, when it should have seen that justice and
kindness .call-for more generous, priority for the benefit of
the world at large.

Prices Will Follow Wages
The government's efforts to control prices, are "meeting
difficulties." Despite the work of Leon Henderson's office,
commodity prices continue to rise.
TThere is a very; sound,reason for that. The reason is
wages.,It should.be, obvious to anyone that prices nnd wages
will follow the same course. It is utterly unreasonable to expect that we can rfix prices and at the same time permit
"wage levels to steadily rise.
. During this defense boom, wages have risen much faster
than production. In* the, year ending last June, payrolls increased 42 per cent-^-while manufacturing output increased
only 30 per cent. Wage increases have also been far greater
than price increases'.
■ The. efforts of business and the government to control
pricea'will prove competely, ineffectual if this trend continues.
In soi*ne .lines, of which retail merchandising is perhaps the
most outstanding,-prices have been held down for tlie reason
that business has taken smaller -profits. That cannot go on

months old, was out in the yard

Mrs. Marchand took a basket of
clothes into the house and when

not see the child. She immediately
started to look for her and found
her tangled in the lilies at the bottom of the small pool. At her
scream neighbors hastened over
and immediately summoned the

What Do You
Do About It?
If tiie Heat Gets You Down
Try Thinking of Winter;
Fans, Swimming Pools and
Showers Little Help
Pennies, nickels, a few dimes
and c\en several quarteis drifted
down through the water of th
swimming pool Friday evening,
followed shortly afterward by
more than one hundred kicking,
twisting and giabbing boys and
girls who dove down to the bottom
of the pool time after time, hunting for the elusive coins that
seemed to disappear as soon as
they touched tlie bottom of the
pool.
The event was the annual penny
scramble at the swimming pooi.
Standing arcund the edge of the
pool a few parents and friends
watched as the swimmers bobbed
up and down, sometimes with a
co/b clutched in their hand but
more often empty handed.
Scattered in three depths of the
pool were five dollars in coins, put
there earljer in the evening. The
swimmers were allowed to hunt for
the money in the section in which
they were classed according to
swimming ability—beginners in the
s-hallow water, half advanced in the
4 foot depth and advanced in the
10 foot depth.
The scramble started at 7:30 in
the evening- and continued until
shortly after 8 o'clock when Melvin Carpenter, dhector of the
sciamble, summoned them out of
the water with his whistle.
Don Horner," twelve year old
swimmer in the half advanced
class was the winner of the evening, bringing 19 cents up from
the bottom of the pool. He was
awarded two candy bars and a
pack of gum for his efforts. Jack
Willaman was mnner-up with 17
cents to his credit.
In the mad lush to get the
money, various persons brought up
hairpins, pebbles, an eyeglass and
other various objects from the bottom of the pool.
When the scramble ended and
mo^t of the swimmers had left the
pool there were still several dol-
lais in small coins down on * the
bottom. Swimmers there may occasionally find a stray one, which
will be no- indication at all that
there is a mint down there, but
only one of tho coins that escaped
detection in the mad scramble Friday evening.
Tax Collectors
Here August 7
Deputies to Be At Citizens
Building for One Day-
Tax collectors will-be at the Citizens' Savings and Loan building
Thursday, August .7 during banking hours for the convenience of
taxpayers in North Canton and
Plain township.
The final closing date for tax
collections is 'August 25. The collections thus far ■ this year are
ab<.\e normal for the date.
Those individuals who have not
received their tax bill due to
chanue of address or other reasons
should notify the treasuier's 'office
so that_they may receive their bills.
What have you been doing about
it ?—the weather, of course. If you
have been managing to keep cool
as the thermometer soars to new
records, there are countless others
who will be very eager to share
your secret of comfort with -you;
if you have been holding up under
the sweltering heat without comment, you deserve a medal for
bravery; but if you have been
plenty warm and not hesitating at
saying so, then you are sharing all
the discomforts and complaints of
other ordinary people who have
been very uncomfortable these past
few days.
With the thermometer jumping
around the figure 100 for several
days, swimming pools, shady little
streams, fans and all other known
I*methods for cutting down on heat
have been brought into use — but
still it is hot.
Monday evening's thunder shower in North Canton brought down
tree branches, a few electric wires,
and fruit from some of the trees
but it brought down the mercury
for onlv a short time.
Tuesday afternoon showers also
brought the mercury down slightly
but Wednesday morning found ;'t
starting up again. It looks like
there is only one thing left to do—
keep as comfortable as the fan will
let you and sit back and wait for
winter.

Theme of District
Meeting at E. Liverpool
Martha McDowell to Present
Musical Program Thursday
Miss Martha McDowell, recently
appointed instructor in music at
Heidelberg college will present a
im'sical program at Rotary meeting Thursday evening.
At the last meeting of the club
a report was given by Clarence
Rohrer and T. G. Denton of the
158th District conference held at
East Liverpool.
The theme of the conference was
"Rotary Responsibility," with various phases of it discussed by Dillon Christ of Alliance, H. Ken Carpenter of Cleveland, O. D. Ever-
haid of Barberton, Alva Gluck of
Minerva, James Card of Cleveland
and Ralph Bell of Bedford, all past
district governors of Rotary.
Charles Leedy, newspaper columnist of Youngstown and Dr. I. E.
Philo of Youngstown were also on
the program.
Among the high points brought
out in*fthe speakers' discussion of
the topic was the statement of Dr.
Philo that we won the last war but
lost the peace. "Rotary," he declared, "says that war is not the
way to settle disputes and the Rotary principles, if applied, can
bring peace. We must develop an
international technique that can
distribute products to all the world,
we must substitute for national
sovereignty, international cooperation, for humanity is greater than
any one nation. Nationalism is all
right," he continued, "but when it
creates hostile groups it must be
modified. We need to build an
abiding peace of understanding."

Prize Fish Gafch

Mrs. William Mori
Trout Caught in Lake Superior Weighs 35 Pounds; Mea-i
sures 45y2 Inches Long
Fish stories of ail kinds are usually brought back by returning
vacationers but the best one this
year is the one brought back by
Mrs. "William Mori. ;
Not only is it a story but also a
fact and Mrs. Mori stands to win
a good prize for her prize catch.
Mr. and Mrs. William Mori of
North Canton and Mr. and Mrs,
Howard Mori of Hartville went to
Munising in northern Michigan to
spend their vacation. Fishing was
done in Lake Superior.
While out fishing one day Mrs.
Moii caught a lake trout ioVz
inches long with a girth of 27
inches and weighing 35" pounds.
The fish, caught in water 200 feet
deep about 35 miles out, in the
lake, is the largest caught in-that
district this year.
Word has been received from
Field and Stream magazine that
Mrs. Mori stands a good chance of
winning a share of a $3,000 fishing prize offered by that magazine
for her catch.
Mrs. Mori is the daughter of Mr.
and'Mrs. O. S. McCamant of North
Canton.
Twenty-eight girts, ranging' in
age from around ten years old to
fourteen are very busy these summer days, learning an art "practiced
by their mothers, grandmothers
and great-grandmothers for countless generations back.
True, they are learning it in a
modern version but none the less
they must be just as exacting, just
as .precise and just as economical
as was their grandmother before
them when she used a spindle to
spin her thread and a spinning
wheel to make her cloth- .
For these girls, members and.as;-
sociate members of the Plain
Township Girls' Clothing club ate
taking lessons in learning ho>v to
sew both clothing and other-, articles of use in the household. .'.'
Ever since the closing of schopl
in the spring they have been .meet;
ing every other week with their adviser, Mrs. Russell Hinton, to wprjc
on their 4-H club project. _ . ,'
The club' is strictly a' sewing
club, with all the girTs entered, in
one of four classes, according t6
the number of years they hay^
been in the club or the amount of
sewing they have done.
There are seven girls in the first
year of sewing and they will spend
their time learning to make simple
household articles such as . pot
holders, pjn cushions, put hems.,iii
towels and Ieam the types " of
stitches and seams.
The girls studying- these simple
steps toward good sewing-are Barbara Gill, Ann Young, Jacqueline
McDowell, Mildred Walker, Joan
Bauman, Peggy Bauman arid Jean
Kyser.
The next step in sewisag for the
girls is to learn how to , make
towels, luncheon sets, collar and
cuff sets, stuff toys and learn raar
chine work, making simple aprons
with this process. In this second
group there are seven girls: Sue
Frank, Donna DeLashmutt, Margery Rickert, Jean Ruch, Ann l£o-
vil, Virginia Sweitzer and Irene
Paskas.
Step three is for the girls , to
learn more advanced work. Por
the first time they start work on
dresses, staying of course with, the
simple styles of home and ' play
clothes. They also make, ufid^r-;
clothing in this class., . ,",

Do About It?
If tiie Heat Gets You Down
Try Thinking of Winter;
Fans, Swimming Pools and
Showers Little Help
Pennies, nickels, a few dimes
and c\en several quarteis drifted
down through the water of th
swimming pool Friday evening,
followed shortly afterward by
more than one hundred kicking,
twisting and giabbing boys and
girls who dove down to the bottom
of the pool time after time, hunting for the elusive coins that
seemed to disappear as soon as
they touched tlie bottom of the
pool.
The event was the annual penny
scramble at the swimming pooi.
Standing arcund the edge of the
pool a few parents and friends
watched as the swimmers bobbed
up and down, sometimes with a
co/b clutched in their hand but
more often empty handed.
Scattered in three depths of the
pool were five dollars in coins, put
there earljer in the evening. The
swimmers were allowed to hunt for
the money in the section in which
they were classed according to
swimming ability—beginners in the
s-hallow water, half advanced in the
4 foot depth and advanced in the
10 foot depth.
The scramble started at 7:30 in
the evening- and continued until
shortly after 8 o'clock when Melvin Carpenter, dhector of the
sciamble, summoned them out of
the water with his whistle.
Don Horner," twelve year old
swimmer in the half advanced
class was the winner of the evening, bringing 19 cents up from
the bottom of the pool. He was
awarded two candy bars and a
pack of gum for his efforts. Jack
Willaman was mnner-up with 17
cents to his credit.
In the mad lush to get the
money, various persons brought up
hairpins, pebbles, an eyeglass and
other various objects from the bottom of the pool.
When the scramble ended and
mo^t of the swimmers had left the
pool there were still several dol-
lais in small coins down on * the
bottom. Swimmers there may occasionally find a stray one, which
will be no- indication at all that
there is a mint down there, but
only one of tho coins that escaped
detection in the mad scramble Friday evening.
